INDIANAPOLIS -  The University of Indianapolis women's soccer team dropped their home opener, 0-1,  on Feb. 26 at Key Stadium to GLVC-Foe McKendree.

The Bearcats took the GLVC regular-season title in 2019, and are proving to be as strong in 2021.

HOW IT HAPPENED
"A little disappointing for an opening game," said head coach Holly Cox. "We've didn't make the most of our time … a lot of things to work on."

The Bearcats scored early in the 16th minute of the match, as McKendree's Anna Stiffler was assisted by Alynnah O'Leary on the goal.

The Greyhounds had four shots throughout the match, while McKendree posted 16.

"Unfortunately, we encountered some difficulties in the attack," said senior Dana Youssef. "It was a tough game; we couldn't get the result we wanted to get."

Sophomore Sophia Saucerman manned the goal for the Hounds, posting five saves in her 90 minutes.

"They countered us very quickly," Saucerman added. "We can pull through this and fix what we need to fix."

INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
-McKendree had eight corner kicks to the Greyhounds' zero.
-Both teams contributed a significant amount of fouls, with the Hounds earning seven and the Bearcats six.
-Taylor Peck led the Greyhounds in shots with a pair.
-Alexi Hardie had UIndy's lone shot-on-goal.

UP NEXT
The Greyhounds travel to Evansville, Ind., on Sunday, Feb 28 where they take on 2019 GLVC Tournament winner, Southern Indiana at 7:30 p.m. ET.

"Looking forward to playing again," Cox said. "Let's see if we can bounce back."
